Talking to a private news channel on Monday, he said, "Indian trade was not associated or linked with Afghanistan." 

Pakistan wants to resolve all business-related issues with Afghanistan through dialogue trade but Afghan government is reluctant to initiate negotiations, Mr Aziz was quoted as saying by Radio Pakistan.

"We wanted to have meetings with Afghanistan to resolve the business-related issues existing between the two neighbouring countries, " he said.

Responding to a query, Mr Aziz said efforts were being made to improve the roads linking Chaman-Torkham border for easy passage of trucks.
